Eligibility Results Toolkit - Phase 1
Purpose of This Toolkit
This document is designed to help Enhanced Direct Enrollment (EDE) Auditors ensure that the application returns accurate eligibility results for specific consumer scenarios. Each test case is
phase-specific, and describes a consumer scenario that must be supported by an EDE application. Auditors should complete each test case by using the information provided to complete an
application through the EDE Entity's user interface (UI). Some information collected by the UI (e.g., phone numbers, contact method preferences, language preferences) is not specified in the
test data. In these cases, Auditors may enter any value or skip optional inputs unless otherwise noted in the test case. The application must display all appropriate application questions to the
Auditor and provide the opportunity to enter the test case information into the application. After all of the information from the test case is entered into the application and the application is
submitted, the Auditor must verify that the eligibility results returned match the expected eligibility results provided in the test case, which is reflected in the Marketplace Eligibility
Determination Notice (EDN) and should be correctly conveyed in the entity's Eligibility Results Page (ERP).
Documentation Requirements
Phase 1 Entities must submit complete eligibility application UI screenshots, EDNs, and unparsed JSONs for all test cases it completes in the Phase 1 Eligibility Results Toolkit (ERT). In test cases
for which an EDN is not generated, but is expected, Auditors must repeat the test case. If the test case ends after the screening questions (i.e., if the consumer is not eligible to use a Phase 1 or
Phase 2 EDE pathway, the consumer must be guided to an alternate pathway), the Auditor will not provide a screenshot of the EDN, but must still provide screenshots showing the application
questions asked from the start of the application through the end of the test case (i.e., the redirect to the alternate pathway). Please review row 15 of this tab for more information about
naming files.
Required Completion Rate
Auditors must conduct all possible test cases. However, depending on the Entity's intended service areas, Auditors may not be able to conduct a test case because the Entity does not intend to
operate in the specific state(s) provided in the test case. Auditors must conduct a minimum number of test cases from each toolkit it completes. Auditors conducting Phase 1 audits must
submit at least 11 of 14 Phase 1 test cases. Auditors conducting Phase 2 audits must submit at least 8 of 14 Phase 1 test cases AND 6 of 9 Phase 2 test cases. Auditors conducting Phase 3 audits
must submit at least 8 of 14 Phase 1 test cases AND 5 of 9 Phase 2 test cases AND 7 of 9 Phase 3 test cases. If an Auditor is not able to conduct the minimum number of test cases for each
toolkit because of the Entity's planned service areas, it must email DE Support to request instructions to modify test cases so that the Auditor is able to conduct and submit the minimum
number of test cases.
Note:
Each phase-specific set of eligibility results test scenarios are contained within separate toolkits (e.g., there is a Eligibility Results Toolkit specific to Phase 3).

"Eligibility Results" section of each "Test Case" input tab prior to confirming the
EDE Entity's compliance with each test case.
Note: Auditors for Phase 1 EDE applications must complete all Phase 1 test case
scenarios, if possible. If an entity does not intend to operate in the specific
state(s) provided in the test case, Auditors must submit at least 11 of 14 Phase 1
test cases.

Note: Auditors for Phase 2 EDE applications must complete all Phase 2 test case
scenarios, as well as the following test cases from Phase 1: 1.A, 1.B, 1.C, 1.D, 1.E,
1.F, 1.K, 1.L, 1.M, 1.N, 1.O (not 1.D.2, 1.H, 1.J which are Phase 1 only test cases), if
possible. If an entity does not intend to operate in the specific state(s) provided in
the test case, Auditors must submit at least 8 of 14 Phase 1 test cases AND 6 of 9
Phase 2 test cases. Note that because Phase 2 supports more consumer scenarios
than Phase 1, some information that is gathered via screening question for a
Phase 1 application is asked as an application question for a Phase 2 application.
For instance, pregnancy status is included in Phase 1 screening questions, but will
be included as an application question in Phase 2 applications.

scenario defined in the subsequent tabs. The Auditor must carefully examine the
"Eligibility Results" section of each "Test Case" input tab prior to confirming the
EDE Entity's compliance with each test case.
Note: Auditors for Phase 3 EDE applications must complete all Phase 3 test case
scenarios, as well as the following test cases from Phase 1 and Phase 2: 1.A, 1.B,
1.C, 1.D, 1.E, 1.F, 1.K, 1.L, 1.M, 1.N, 1.O (not 1.D.2, 1.H, 1.J which are Phase 1 only
test cases) and 2.A, 2.B, 2.B.2, 2.D, 2.E, 2.E.2, 2.F and 2.G (not 2.H which is a Phase
2 only test case), if possible. If an entity does not intend to operate in the specific
state(s) provided in the test case, Auditors must submit at least 8 of 14 Phase 1
test cases AND 5 of 9 Phase 2 test cases AND 7 of 9 Phase 3 test cases. Note that
because Phase 3 supports all consumer scenarios, Phase 3 does not have
screening questions. Therefore, information that is gathered via screening
question for a Phase 1 or Phase 2 application is asked as an application question
for a Phase 3 application. For instance, American Indian or Alaska Native status is
included in Phase 1 and 2 screening questions, but will be included as an
application question in Phase 3 applications.

Test Case Input Tabs (e.g., Test Case 1.A input, Test
Case 1.B input)

Each test case input tab details the eligibility
application answers to test the eligibility
determination through the EDE pathway.

Auditors should use each tab to complete an eligibility application with the
answers detailed in the tab. Upon receiving an eligibility determination through
the EDE Pathway, the Auditor should confirm that the eligibility results from the
EDE Pathway are identical to the "Eligibility Result" included at the end of each
test case. The Auditor must take screenshots of the eligibility application process
while progressing through the test case, including a screenshot of the ERP, and
also store the EDN and provide the EDN to CMS (if applicable). The Auditor must
also submit the Get App API response (JSON) from each test case. The Auditor
should name the screenshot files sequentially and clearly identify them as
belonging to a specific test case (e.g., TestCase1A-1, TestCase1A-2). Similarly, the
Auditor should name the JSON files to clearly identify them as belonging to a
specific test case (e.g., TestCase1A-JSON). CMS strongly recommends that
Auditors sequentially aggregate the screenshots in a single document for each
test case (e.g., a Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or PDF document with each image
labelled “TestCase1-A”) instead of submitting each screenshot as an individually
saved image (e.g., TestCase1A-1.jpg, TestCase1A-2.jpg). This may help expedite
CMS’s audit review.

Audit Requirements by Tab
Tab: Phase 1
In this tab, the Auditor must scroll to the right to complete the last six columns whose column headings are shaded in yellow or marked with "**."
Columns
Test Case ID

Description
Test Case ID that corresponds to each input tab.

State

List of state(s) for testing that corresponds to each
input tab.

Summary/Criteria
Expected Results/What's Tested

Summary of test data for each test case.
Summary of tested functionalities and expected
results for each test case.

Test Scenario Description

Summary description of the test case.

How to Review
The Auditor must match the Test Case ID in the "Phase 1" tab to the
corresponding Test Case ID input tab, and use information from both tabs to
complete the audit.
The Auditor must use an approved state (i.e., the state or one of the states
provided for each test case) to complete each test case.
The Auditor may use this summary information to inform the audit.
As stated above, the Auditor must carefully examine the "Eligibility Results"
section of each "Test Case" input tab prior to confirming the EDE Entity's
compliance with each test case.
The Auditor may use this summary information to inform the audit.

Auditor Compliance Conclusion**

The Auditor must provide a conclusion as to whether
the scenario or requirement defined in each row is
compliant with the CMS requirements. A compliance
conclusion should be indicated as "Yes" or "No."

The Auditor will use the test case eligibility details from the Test Case input tabs
to complete the EDE Entity's eligibility application. Upon completing the eligibility
application, the Auditor will verify that the eligibility results on the EDE Entity's
website match the eligibility results defined at the end of each Test Case input
tab. The Auditor will document each screen within the eligibility application with
screenshots and store the EDN and provide the EDN to CMS, unless the test case
ends after the screener questions, which is clearly marked in each input tab. For
each test case, the Auditor must provide the raw JSON from the Get App API
response for the application version used to complete the scenario.
There are several required fields in each cell within this column:
- The first required field in each cell is, "Eligibility results compliance conclusion:
_____." If the test case is compliant, and matches the eligibility results expected
for the test case, the Auditor must indicate "Yes" in this column. If the row is not
compliant, the Auditor must indicate the noncompliance with a "No" in this
column.
-The subsequent required fields in each cell refer to the "Auditor Checklist"
column and include the item number from the Application UI Toolkit, and the row
number from the test case. For example, the first item in row 33 of the 1.A Check
List is "Check Items 128-130: Verify that Race and Ethnicity questions are optional
to answer for all household members." After the Auditor verifies this checklist
item, the Auditor must document its compliance determination in the
corresponding field in the "Auditor Compliance Conclusion" column in the "Phase
1" tab, "Auditor checklist Items 128-130/row 33 compliance conclusion:_____"

As the Auditor reviews each test case in its entirety, the Auditor must indicate any
compliance risks identified in this column. This includes any compliance risks that
the EDE Entity has since resolved and come into compliance. One example finding
is the Auditor could not input all of the test data because UI questions were
missing. Another example is if the eligibility result was correct, but the Auditor
found that the Entity's UI did not seem to follow the test data inputs or display
correct questions.

Risks Identified**

The Auditor must detail any compliance risks
identified during the audit in this column for each
applicable row. Use this column if the Compliance
Conclusion was “No” or if the entity resolved a risk
prior to audit submission. There are two types of
risks: resolved and unresolved. Please document
them both here. Do not document a risk if the
requirement is compliant and there was no mitigation
required.

Risk Level**

Auditors must assign a risk level to each risk it
identifies.

Risk Mitigation Strategy**

Auditors must explain how a risk(s) was mitigated. For
example, if the entity had non-compliant question
text, the Auditor must identify that as a risk and list
the specific language used as well as how the issue
was resolved. This field is required for high-risk
findings. The Auditor can work with the EDE Entity to
decide on whether or not to include this for low-risk
findings.

Estimated Resolution Date**

Auditors must provide a timeframe for risk resolution CMS recommends Auditors work with the EDE Entity to provide a realistic
(required for unresolved high-risk findings).
timeframe of when a risk will be closed or mitigated given other dependencies
and their expertise.

Auditor Comments**

Auditors must use the Auditor comments column for
any additional notes or comments pertaining to each
item. The Auditor must use this column to include the
applicable screenshot file or folder names that show
proof of compliance (or non-compliance) for this
requirement.

The Auditor must assign a risk level of "high" or "low" to each risk. High-risk issues
may impact a consumer’s eligibility determination, enrollment disposition or
status, or legal attestation. High-risk issues may also greatly hinder the consumer
experience or impact data collection (e.g., skipping a question that is required for
CMS will take the risk level assigned by the Auditor
into consideration when reviewing the audit, but may a EDE Entity to ask, but optional for the consumer to answer).
Low-risk issues are unlikely to affect a consumer’s eligibility determination,
adjust it if necessary.
enrollment disposition or status, legal attestation, experience (i.e., in a negative or
confusing way), or data collection. Note: These risk determinations are applicable
for the business audit only and not the privacy and security audit.

As the Auditor identifies compliance risks, the Auditor and EDE Entity will identify
a mitigation strategy that will mitigate or eliminate the compliance risk. The
Auditor must document that mitigation strategy here. This includes documenting
the mitigation strategy for any identified risk that the EDE Entity has
resolved. One example is, if the initial test did not produce the expected eligibility
results (which would be an identified risk), the EDE Entity made a system or UI
change to correct the issue to produce the correct eligibility result.

For instructions on how to properly document supplemental documentation see
the Enhanced Direct Enrollment (EDE) Business Audit Instructions and Report
Template.
The Auditor can also use this column to provide any additional notes or
comments pertaining to each item. Business requirements audits should not
include comments that describe the Auditor’s process for verifying the
requirement unless there is a specific issue or concern regarding the requirement
that warrants raising a concern.

the event an EDE Entity does not support an application state listed in the test
scenario, the Auditor may omit that test case.
Required Completion Rate (Reminder)
Auditors must conduct all possible test cases. However, depending on the entity's
intended service areas, Auditors may not be able to conduct a test case because
the entity does not intend to operate in the specific state(s) provided in the test
case. Auditors must conduct a minimum number of test cases from each toolkit it
completes. Auditors conducting Phase 1 audits must submit at least 11 of 14
Phase 1 test cases. Auditors conducting Phase 2 audits must submit at least 8 of
14 Phase 1 test cases AND 6 of 9 Phase 2 test cases. Auditors conducting Phase 3
audits must submit at least 8 of 14 Phase 1 test cases AND 5 of 9 Phase 2 test
cases AND 7 of 9 Phase 3 test cases. If an Auditor is not able to conduct the
minimum number of test cases for each toolkit because of the entity's planned
service areas, it must email DE Support to request instructions to modify test
cases so that the Auditor is able to conduct and submit the minimum number of
test cases.

Screening Questions

This section provides the screener questions and
answers for each test case that determine if
consumer(s) can use a certain phase of EDE.

Screening Pass/Fail

This section describes and explains if the test
consumer(s) may continue the application or if the
test consumer must be guided to an alternate
pathway because the consumer is not eligible for this
phase of EDE.

Household Member Input

Test data for each consumer in the test case.

Household

This section provides the household composition
information such as relationships, whether household
members are applicants/non-applicants, Social
Security Numbers (SSNs), and citizenship/immigration
information.

More About This Household

This section provides information for answering the
Non-MAGI Medicaid eligibility questions (physical
disabilities, assistance with daily living, nursing home
care).

Medicaid Block

This section provides information for answering the
questions about Medicaid denial or Medicaid ending
due to a change in eligibility.

Income

This section provides each household member's
current income, deductions, annual income, and
income discrepancies, when applicable.

Program Questions

This section provides additional inputs for each test
case that are specific to APTC, Medicaid, CHIP, SEP,
and QHP eligibility.

Attestations

This section provides information for answering the
legal attestations.

All Phase 1 and some Phase 2 scenarios require the use of specific test SSNs
which are provided in the input table. Some Phase 2 and Phase 3 scenarios do not
include SSNs. In these instances, the Auditor should proceed in the application
without entering any values in the SSN field. Entering an invalid SSN will prevent
application submission. Please refer to phase-specific instructions.

Eligibility Results

This section shows the eligibility results that should
display for each consumer in the ERP. The
information displayed in the UI should accurately
reflect results found in the EDN and use specific
language where noted in the test cases.

Auditors should note that test cases do not include data matching issue (DMI)
status in the Eligibility Result section. If the test case results in a DMI, the ERP and
EDN will provide instruction that the consumer must submit documentation to
confirm information. DMIs can occur for citizenship status; immigration status;
household income; incarceration status; American Indian or Alaska Native status;
eligibility for minimum essential job-based coverage; and eligibility for coverage
through Medicaid or CHIP, TRICARE, Veterans Health Care Program, Medicare, or
Peace Corps.
Auditors should also note that the test cases do include information on Special
Enrollment Verification Issues (SVIs) in the Eligibility Results section, and that
messaging about SVIs is expected on both the ERP and EDN when noted in the
test case. However, SVIs will not be generated for applicants who are current
enrollees or for applications submitted during the annual open enrollment period.
Entities can help ensure they are generating the expected SVIs by always
randomizing demographic data as instructed by the test cases and completing the
toolkit outside of the open enrollment period.

Test Case 1.A

Any state except
AK

-Initial application, 2 member household
-Seeking financial assistance
-Married, no dependents
-Current coverage through Medicare

This is a simple test case with a two person household—a married couple filing a joint
tax return in any state. This test case allows the EDE Entity to demonstrate its ability to
handle non-applicants, as the application filer’s spouse must be included on the

consumer’s employer, because job-based income is reported, and about enrollment in
other non-employer-sponsored health coverage. In this case, the application filer has
Medicare which results in ineligibility for APTC.

Test Case 1.B

Any state

-Initial application, 1 member household
-Not seeking financial assistance
-Single, no dependents
-Loss of coverage SEP

-EDE Entity properly displays limited screener questions due to consumer
indicating they are not seeking financial assistance
-EDE Entity properly displays limited application questions due to consumer
indicating they are not seeking financial assistance
-Applicant is eligible for QHP and may enroll through SEP due to recent loss
of MEC

This is a scenario where the consumer is not requesting financial assistance. It can be
tested using any state's application. This allows the EDE Entity to demonstrate that only
limited screener questions and limited application questions appear based on the
consumer's choice not to be considered for insurance affordability programs. The
consumer attests to a recent loss of coverage and is therefore eligible to enroll through
a SEP.

Test Case 1.C

FL, NC, or SC

-Initial application, 2 member household
-Seeking financial assistance
-Single, 1 dependent

-EDE Entity properly displays prior coverage in the 60 days before the move
question
-EDE Entity UI successfully collects written language preference
-Child may be Medicaid eligible
-Parent is found QHP eligible and eligible for hardship exemption due to
income below 100% FPL and residency in non-expansion state

This scenario includes a single parent applying for herself and one young child. She

This is a simple scenario of a single individual with no dependents applying for financial
assistance in Medicaid Expansion states. This individual attests to weekly
unemployment income and disagrees with the calculated projected annual income and
inputs her own amount. She resides in a Medicaid Expansion state, and is found
Medicaid eligible based on current monthly income.
This test case tests the UI and functionality related to reporting a life change on an
existing application. For this test case, after completing test case 1.D, the tester must
report a change in circumstance (CiC) on the already-submitted 1.D application. The
household information for the individual would stay the same, except that on the CiC
application version, the consumer is now pregnant. Because pregnancy affects
Medicaid eligibility, the consumer should be routed to an alternative pathway after
accurately answering the screener questions.
In this scenario, a couple with no dependents in any state applies for coverage with no
financial assistance. The consumers attest to marriage in the last 60 days. The UI should
include a follow-up question asking if either spouse had coverage in the 60 days before
the marriage. Because at least one consumer answers "Yes", they are found both QHP
and SEP eligible.

This scenario demonstrates proper functionality of the screener tool for an unmarried
parent seeking coverage and financial assistance for three tax dependents in any state.
The application filer also lives with a domestic partner, which requires use of an
alternative pathway only because that domestic partner is the parent of one or more of
the application filer’s tax dependents. Therefore the application filer should answer
“Yes” to the screener question which asks whether their dependents live with a parent
who’s not on his/her tax return. Upon doing so, they should be directed to an
alternative pathway.
This test case demonstrates the screener tool UI and functionality for a consumer not
applying for financial assistance. In this scenario, an unmarried consumer in any state
with no dependents completes the screener on the EDE entity site. Although this
consumer is a U.S. citizen, they were not born in the U.S. and became naturalized as a
U.S. citizen in the 1990s. On the screener tool, when the consumer answers the
question about naturalized citizenship accurately, they should be redirected to an
alternative pathway.
This test case demonstrates functionality for a mixed eligibility household with multiple
income and deduction types, other health coverage, and a Move SEP. In a three
member household financial assistance application, one member is determined eligible
for QHP with a Move SEP, APTC, and CSRs, one member determined eligible for QHP
with a Move SEP and without subsidy, and the child is assessed as eligible for Medicaid.
This test case must be run in NH, zip code 03301.

This test case verifies the ability for the EDE Entity UI to handle a complex scenario in
which a nine (9) member household is applying for financial assistance in Virginia. The
application contains multiple income and deduction types, current coverage, multiple
SEPs, and attestations to physical disabilities and assistance with daily living that result
in determinations of QHP without subsidy, QHP with APTC and CSR, and CHIP eligibility
for the family members. The test case must be run in VA with zip code 22032 (Fairfax

Summary: This is a simple test case with a two person household—a married couple filing a joint tax return in any state. This test case allows the EDE Entity to demonstrate its
ability to handle non-applicants, as the application filer’s spouse must be included on the application, but is not seeking coverage herself. Because the application filer is over age
65, the UI must display a message regarding impacts of Medicare and Marketplace coverage. This test case also demonstrates the collection of information about the consumer’s
employer, because job-based income is reported, and about enrollment in other non-employer-sponsored health coverage. In this case, the application filer has Medicare which
results in ineligibility for APTC.

Summary: This is a scenario where the consumer is not requesting financial assistance. It can be tested using any state's application. This allows the EDE Entity to demonstrate that only limited
screener questions and limited application questions appear based on the consumer's choice not to be considered for insurance affordability programs. The consumer attests to a recent loss of
coverage and is therefore eligible to enroll through a SEP.

Summary: This scenario includes a single parent applying for herself and one young child. She selects Spanish as her preferred written and spoken language, and the EDN will be generated in Spanish as a result. In this scenario, the
consumer reports a monthly deduction as well as weekly job income. Finally, the consumer in this scenario attests to a recent move. However, the consumer does not meet the prior coverage requirement for the move SEP. In this
scenario, the child is found Medicaid eligible while the parent is found QHP eligible and eligible for a hardship exemption on the basis of living in a non-expansion state with an income below 100% of the poverty line.

Summary: This test case tests the UI and functionality related to reporting a life change on an existing application. For this test case, after completing test case 1.D, the
tester must report a change in circumstance (CiC) on the already-submitted 1.D application. The household information for the individual would stay the same, except
that on the CiC application version, the consumer is now pregnant. Because pregnancy affects Medicaid eligibility, the consumer should be routed to an alternative
pathway after accurately answering the screener questions.

Notes to Testers

Auditor Checklist

Because this is a CiC, the application coverage
year and state should remain the same and the
application from Test Case 1.D should be

Must provide a valid zip code for the application
state
Check Item 9: Verify the question is written as or
similarly to "Do you plan to file a federal tax
return for [insert coverage year]? You don't have
to file taxes to apply for coverage, but you'll
need to file next year if you want to get a
premium tax credit to help pay for coverage
now."

The pathway for consumers to report this life
change may vary by UI, but the tester should see
similar screening questions that will allow them
to report the pregnancy CiC. Pregnancy is not
supported by Phase 1 applications, so this
answer/input will result in the consumer being
redirected to an alternate pathway

Check Item 19: The question should be written
as or similarly to "Are you an American Indian or
Alaska Native?"

Summary: In this scenario, a couple with no dependents in any state applies for coverage with no financial assistance. The consumers attest to marriage in the last 60 days. The UI should
include a follow-up question asking if either spouse had coverage in the 60 days before the marriage. Because at least one consumer answers "Yes", they are found both QHP and SEP
eligible.

Summary: In this simple scenario, a single consumer applies for financial assistance in a Medicaid Expansion state. He attests to job income and to a recent Medicaid denial. The application
should include follow-up questions about his Medicaid denial to determine whether he originally applied during Open Enrollment as well as the date of the denial. Despite income below the
Medicaid limit in his state, the consumer is found QHP, APTC, CSRs and SEP eligible due to the Medicaid denial attestation.

Summary: This scenario demonstrates proper functionality of the screener tool for an unmarried parent seeking coverage and financial assistance for three tax dependents in any state. The
application filer also lives with a domestic partner, which requires use of an alternative pathway only because that domestic partner is the parent of one or more of the application filer’s tax
dependents. Therefore the application filer should answer “Yes” to the screener question which asks whether their dependents live with a parent who’s not on his/her tax return. Upon doing
so, they should be directed to an alternative pathway.

1990s. On the screener tool, when the consumer answers the question about naturalized citizenship accurately, they should be redirected to an alternative pathway.
